Admission Open!!!

If you've ever considered what you'll do when you finish your 12th grade. Your response will undoubtedly be straightforward: you will attend college. But have you ever wondered how students get into college? Is it as simple as it appears? We all have gone through a phase where we plan for taking admission to a particular college or institute, start preparing for that, fill up the form for admission, and wait for the admission results. What is this admission process? Why is all this necessary? Why is this admission process so important in student life? Let us seek answers to all these questions in our article.

What is An Admission Process?

A procedure of gaining permitted admittance into a specific institution or college is known as an admission process. This is a process that most students go through while applying to schools and colleges. An admission is nothing more than giving someone permission to enter a specific location or place. In schools, we fill out a specific school admission form to be admitted to a specific class. The school authorities examine our application and, if appropriate, admit us to that particular class; occasionally, an additional exam is administered to test our knowledge. Admission to colleges and universities follows the same approach, with a few exceptions. Now let us take a look at the types, modes, and criteria of admission.

Different Modes Of Admission

When preparing for admission to any institute, students must first determine which mode of admission is used at that institution. Checking this keeps you informed and eliminates the possibility of being late for admissions. Mode of admission generally means on which basis the student may be admitted in a fixed course in a particular institution. So what are the different admission modes by which admission in different institutes is generally accepted? Two different admission modes are available that are widely accepted in most institutes. These are as follows:

1. Entrance-Based Admission

• In this mode of admission, an entrance examination is conducted by a particular organization or institution.
• Based on these exam results admission will be granted. Different institutes have their entrance exams for admissions.
• Sometimes, a common entrance exam is also conducted to admit students to different institutions.
• Application forms for different entrances are released every year from time to time for fresh admission.
• Every year, a huge number of individuals apply for these entrance exams, but only a small percentage get selected and are admitted to their choice of institution.

2. Merit-Based Admission

• In this case, students are admitted based on their qualifying class percentage or score.
• We've all seen a brochure for a college or school. In the brochure, in front of the specific course eligibility, it generally contains information like a minimum of 60% in class 12th is necessary for admission to this program.
• In every new academic session, a specific range of scores is determined on which admission to a specific course at that institution is awarded.
• In contrast to the entrance-based admission mode, the qualifying class grades are given more weightage.

Several Types Of Admission

Along with different modes of admission, there are different types of admission present there. It depicts the type whether the admission is for training or a course or a fellowship or an internship. There are many types of admission, some of which are listed below:

1. Direct Admission
2. Regular Admission
3. Provisional Admission
4. Open Admission
5. Course Admission
6. On Spot Admission

Let us understand each one of these in detail

1. Direct Admission

Direct Admission, also known as direct entry, is a method of admission in which students can apply for admission to an institute without first taking an admission test. You can enroll at the concerned institution after completing specified online/offline procedures, or you can enroll on the spot at one of the institution's study centers. In such circumstances, admission would be granted based on the following criteria:

1. Qualifying exam scores,

2. Group discussion scores, and

3. Interview scores.

4. Regular Admission

Students can apply for admission to multiple institutes within a set deadline under this sort of admission. It is the most prevalent entrance type. Before the university sends out any acceptance or refusal letters, each application is compared to the others in its type. Regular admission has the advantage of allowing us to apply to many institutions at the same time, boosting our chances of being accepted into one of our top choices. Also, because this method of admission is prevalent in most institutes, it provides us with many options for admission.

3. Provisional Admission The term 'provisional' refers to something that is just temporary at the moment and may change in the future. Candidates with less than the required qualification or marks are accepted to the institution on the condition that they must earn a particular grade in the next session; if they do not, they will not be admitted to the next session.

4. Open Admission Open admissions (also known as open enrollment) is a nonselective admissions policy that accepts all students who have the required qualifications. Regardless of any additional qualifications or any entrance exam students are admitted directly into the institute.

Open Admission provides various benefits to the students who are

• Dropouts and want to start their study career once again.
• Afraid of competition and want to complete their studies without it.
• Delayed in taking admission to a particular course due to some factors and doesn't want to waste their entire year open admission is a good alternative for them.

5. Course Admission Course Admission, as the name implies, is a sort of admission in which a student is accepted into a certain course. This sort of admission necessitates specialist qualifications due to acceptance into a specific stream or course. For example, if I wish to enroll in B.Pharm, the minimum requirement is that I have completed 12th grade with Physics, Chemistry, and Biology. Because of these requirements, not everyone is eligible to enroll in these courses. Between the admission and the student, there is a qualification barrier. Sometimes entrances are also taken for admission into specific courses like for getting admission into MBBS course we have to clear NEET entrance exam.

6. On Spot Admission Spot admission is a practice in which we give provisional admission to candidates seeking admission to accredited universities on the spot. In India, several universities offer on-the-spot admission. Spot admissions are made after "live counseling" on seats that have become available There are generally three different spot sounds. With a larger probability, the last spot round is crucial. Sometimes even after the spot round, some seats remain unfilled, despite the participation of candidates of all ranks.

What are Admission Criteria?

An admission criterion is a series of standards or norms that a student must meet to be admitted to a specific course at a specific institute. Some of the basic criteria based on which admission is granted:

• Qualifying Course: Whenever we seek admission to a particular course we first check what is the eligibility criteria for this course where we see things like passing a certain class with specific subjects. Admission to B.Pharm requires 12th with Physics, Chemistry, and Biology. Our qualifying course is important concerning the admission perspective.

• Admission Test Score: In the case of Entrance-based admission, scores obtained in the entrance exam act as an eligibility criterion for admission. Institutes establish a standard score that will be used to assess whether or not a student is admitted. Admission will be granted if the student's score is higher than or equal to the standard score. Admission will not be given if the score is below a certain threshold. When the number of seats available is greater than the number of qualified students, students with lower scores are offered the opportunity to apply.

• Marks Obtained in the qualifying course: If you notice in the eligibility criteria section, most candidates with a 50% or higher in the qualifying course are eligible for admission; otherwise, they are not. The prior class's grades always play a significant influence in gaining admission to a particular course.

Admission plays greater importance in students' lives. Students get ambitious, determined when they start preparing for admission to a particular institution. They begin to rely on their hopes, and if they are not admitted to their preferred or dream institutes, they experience a mental breakdown. It serves as a large proportion of a student's life. All the hustle behind getting admission seems worthy when we achieve what we want to achieve. Many students have realized as a result of this that achieving one's dreams is not as simple as one might believe. To realize your ideal, you'll need to put in a lot of effort. In India, the admissions procedure is quite important because getting into a regular institution is difficult if we do not have the necessary qualifications. All of this leads us to the conclusion that the admissions process is a lengthy one in which a variety of factors play a significant influence. And comprehending the admissions process is critical in determining our future path.
